The California Cash and Credit Laws: Moving to Mandatory Electronic Fund Transfers Between Wholesalers and Retailers on January 1, 2026 – Cash is no longer Legal Tender
We have parsed the byzantine California credit laws related to buying and selling alcohol many times and in many contexts, most recently in 2017, when Booze Rules published an extensive article on the history, application, penalties, and enforcement of the federal and California credit laws (Business and Professions Code Section 25509). The impetus for the 2017 article was an ABC crackdown on credit practices resulting in ABC accusations (that we defended) against industry members on the supplier and retailer tiers, and class action litigation over the calculation and assessment of mandatory late charges under the credit law against multiple wholesalers, including Southern Glazers.

To decant or not to decant? That is the question…
To decant or not to decant? That is the question… Often regarded as an old-fashioned, even somewhat pretentious practice, decanting wine has its fair share of doubters. Is decanting simply done for show or does it serve a useful purpose? If so, which wines should be decanted and how long before serving should wine be decanted? This blogpost looks into the why, which, how and when of decanting wine. WHY DECANT WINE? The main reason historically for decanting wine was to remove it from any naturally-occurring sediment often seen in wines that have aged a while in bottle. This sediment can taste bitter and, let’s face it, is unpleasant in texture – no-one likes to get that gritty last mouthful of wine. You would expect to see a sediment in vintage & crusted port and wines, mostly red wines, that have been aged for a number of years in bottle. Some younger wines can also benefit from being decanted. There is a small but growing number of natural winemakers who prefer not to filter their wi

The 20 Best Cognacs to Drink in 2024
Following a massive sales spike during the pandemic, Cognac has experienced a fairly significant downturn in the past few years, amid an overall decline in spirits sales as well as fierce competition from other categories. When comparing Cognac with other styles of spirits, though, the world’s most prestigious brandy has a lot to offer — often at very competitive prices. Consider that this is a spirit made from a raw material (grapes) that exhibits much more character and personality than, say, barley or corn. That character is then bolstered by oak aging, whether the minimum two years for V.S. The article The 20 Best Cognacs to Drink in 2024 appeared first on VinePair .

11/17/24: Shacksbury Cider's Sugar Shack
Surprise! It's another cider post! Seriously, I had such a rough time finding maple beers to get to this season. Luckily, the cider makers have come through for me. Maple syrup and hard cider has been one of my favorite flavor combinations since I first stumbled upon it. I'm excited to see how Shacksbury's Sugar Shack, today's cider, plays into the combo. Shacksbury 's based in the Champlain Valley (Addison County) of Vermont and is named after an old hamlet that was making cider in the area back in the 1840s. The cider they make is complex and organic. I couldn't find Sugar Shack on Shacksbury's website (although I did track down this Instagram post !), so we'll let Untappd tell us about today's cider. Unfortunately, there's not much here. This just states the 5.5% ABV cider has "...maple and vanilla." My can provides a bit more of a story while letting us know it's made with vanilla bean paste instead of extract or artificial vanilla flavor. The bouquet is a little drier, a lit

The VinePair Podcast: Making Sake Work in America
There’s probably no drink in the beverage alcohol space that’s simultaneously more familiar to American drinkers, yet less marketed and branded as sake. Everyone’s tried it. Everybody has some idea of what it is, but if someone said, “name a sake — any sake,” most would admittedly be a little tongue-tied. It’s a category in which stateside brand building has been somewhat absent over the years. But now, through unique packaging, pitching the drink as a cocktail ingredient, or a slept-on pairing with myriad cuisines, there are a few brands making moves to change that phenomenon.
